Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 7 years old, just starting. She says even drinking water feels painful in her throat. She noticed that her voice is a bit hoarse when she speaks. Also, she has a slight fever and lacks energy. Please ask: How should tonsillitis in children, which is very painful, be treated.Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis. They can be selected as needed. While taking medication, some local treatments can also be performed, such as rinsing or applying medication directly, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. For children with severe sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. If a child has a fever, antipyretic drugs can be administered. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis. Additionally, surgery is also a viable option, particularly for children who experience recurrent episodes. Parents should also ensure their children are well-warmed to prevent colds and subsequent re-inflammation of the tonsils.
